Observer Staff Writer

Stu\lent reaction to the idea of coed clorms at Notre Dame is genera&..v favorable, according to a poll ta)len by The Observer yesterday\afternoon.

When queried about the subject, comments varied from ''I wouldn't want to live' in one" to "Should come pretty soon" and "it's about time". While· ,most of the com­itumts were favorable to the idea, many were ske.'ltical about the chances of such a ~oposition. Art Moher of Morr\ssey -~Hall said, "Sure, we'll have ceed fialls, and· the North Pole will melt tonight."

Several "advantages" of· •. Jiving were repeatedly voiced By· those interviewed. The most frequently mentioned was a "gradual breakdown of the rigid ~tructure of the'boy meets girls-­NO & SMC dating game"'

communications "I think it would be a pretty good

thing, mainly because the reaction on campus to girls is unreal and can only. be solved by better communication with them," stated Fred Graver. "We have bad communications now because of our lack of practical experiences."

SMC student Sue Beatty saw an opportunity to "see men as people and for men to likewise see women as people" in a coed h,1using situation. She added that "I'd be happy if we just had Notre Dame's parietal situation, because ours is reaUy bad."

react Dame coeducation, and that sucn an arrangement "is the only way to get out of the dating atmosphere that's still very prevalent on campus." They termed coed housing as a way to "get over the unnaturalness." "It would be very nice, and the towers could be made coed by cluster."

need coed living

Maureen Lathers, a recent transfer student from Michigan State said that "l:was in one last year, and now it's hard to meet guys on an informal basis. . It would make true coeducation come a lot faster."

One Domer, who preferred to be identified as Boo, said that "the people around here wouldn't like the expense or trouble caused by it aU" but that it would "boost morale, increase willingness to learn, and solve a lot of psychological problems of the

students around here." He added that "the people around here had a lot of them."

its a coed planet Students who agreed with the

concept usually added that coed housing would be "practical" and that it -would make for a "more natural atmosphere on campus." Frank Fransioli of Dillon Hall said that "it should be attempted" and that "after all, it's a coed planet."

A different point of view was presented by Tom Hastings, who said that "this place isn't ready for it yet." Sophomore Steve Barrett· explained that "ND isn't ready for it yet. Boston College and Georgetown are just now ex­perimenting with ~oed housing and Notre Dame is anywhere from five to ten years behind a lot of the

eastern schools. We have about as much of a chance as Annapolis."

Notre Dame freshman Patty Culler said she wouldn't "object," but that she "wouldn't live in one." One junior stated his preference

for the all-male environment in his hall.

"I like things the way they are," was the opinion of Diana Wilson. "Most girls like to run around in curlers and cold cream."

A vast majority of students doubted if coed housing had much of a chance in the near future. Sophomore Bob Gumerlock felt that "a Board of Trustees that won't allow parietals after 2:00 AM certainly won't allow coresiden­ce."

guns and barbed wire Eddie Farrell thought that "it

was an excellent idea" but that as far as it being possible--"You've got to be kidding me. "people are mature enough for It. It's a fallacy that people our age are not. Perhaps the people in control aren't mature enough."

"We've been talking about all this for eight years," said grad student Dave Davis. "Badin and Walsh are about as coed as you're going to get, unless you put machine guns and barbed wire around all the elevators."

deprived situation Alumni sophomore Don Bing

thought that it's going to be awhile. "We've only had coeducation for a

short while. Reaction would at first be for such housing but alumni opinion will certainly be against it. I think it might come. If the student body got together and worked for it. it might happen."

A few students expressed the

view that "it wouldn't make any difference." Pat Keefe said that "I wouldn't change that much" and added that he didn't want it to "increase the price."

One student, who termed himself "a fed up frosh from Lyons," said that if "we did have coed housing, we might .get new medicine chests and carpeting, but then it would increase tuition like it did this year."

Don Riordan, a Morrisseey senior, felt that he personally would "like to see coed housing" but that he'd be "a little hesitant."

see woman as people ''A lot of guys couldn't handle it.

Give it four years. People couldn't cope with it now because of the deprived social situation. Let men get used to the women, and let the women get used to the university. Coed housing next year could force situations that people might be sorry for.

"The image of Notre Dame is changing. Guys are going to act a little more mature with women around. Most guys would view it as 'living with broads' now, but guys in three or four years will look upon it. as something that could seriously affect the rest of their lives . Attitudes are beginning to mature already."

Most student reaction can be typified by off-campus student Jack Joseph's remark: "I wouldn't object to them."

JESUS RETREAT Date: Fri. Sept 22-Sat. Sept.23

Time: 8:OOpm Fri-8: OOpm Sat.

Psyche Center serves coeds a JESUS RETREAT is a 24hr. retreat offering

by Connie Greiwe Obst"rver Staff Reporter

Psychological Services of Notre Dame enters its sixth year of operation minus its only female staff member but with a whole new group of potential residing female clientele.

Dr. Sara C. Charles resigned from her position as Notre Dame's first resident psychiatrist to fur­ther her studies at the University of Illinois Medical School. Father Ralph Dunn, CSB . Directm of Psychological Services, and Dr. Charles Arens. Assistant Director will continue the operation of the center.

The new clientele for Psychological Services are the undergraduate Notre Dame women, but Psychological Ser­vices is experienced in dealing with female students. Services were offered to SMC women beginning in 1968. But according to Dr. Aren, "Many SMC women desiring psychological help were hesitant because they were easily sighted in the Psyche Center and -afraid of the stigma some people associate with anyone seeking professional aid." He expects more women clientele to seek consultation with women now residing on campus and daily using the infirmary.

According to psychological research, coed institutions of learning see a greater number of women using psychological ser­vices than men. Dr. Aren expects when the increase of women is equally proportionate to men there

will be a greater number of women using the services of the Psyche Center.

The center deals with minor obsessive thoughts and fears which hamper the individual's normal functioning. It does not "focus on underlying personality disorders," Aren added.

The services of the center can be catagorized as either treatment or consultation. students seeking these service are referred to the center by faculty, hall personnel, or come of their own initiative.

Once a student enters the center, he is given a preliminary interview ·'to help him assess the dimension

If further evaluation is indicated the student is given a small battery of psychological tests enabling the staff to evaluate his problem at their semi-weekly meeting. The student is then advised to attend either individual or group therarpy.

Dr. Aren sighted a variety of emotional problems seen at the center; "crisis in academic work, relationships with other students," and more frequently, "apathy, alienation, and prolonged depression."

Besides treating student patients, the center staff is available for consultation with fac­ulty. hall personnel, or student groups.

Coed residence surveyed

Co - residential housing proves popular by Patti Shea

Observer Staff Writer

The increasing popularity of co­residential dorms is evident at four of Notre Dame's neighboring universities. Housing directors and deans at Northwestern, Marquette, St. Louis and Michigan State Universities report general satisfaction and enthusiasm on the part of both students and ad­ministrations toward the co­residential housing existing on those campuses. These co-residences range from

inter-connecting buildings at most schools to housing complexes at Northwestern where man and

(THE OB..rERVER.)

woman undergraduates live on the same floor. They are usually new and a few are still in experimental stages. Marquette University opened its

first co-residential housing this fall placing men and women students on alternatve floors of a 13-floor dormitory. A!though there are restrictions on intervisitation hours at the university, the Marquette students seem to be enthused and receptive to the new residence style, according to Howard Devine, the assistant dean of students. Similar in arrangement to the co­

residence at Marquette, St. Louis University's co-residential hall is

Co-residential dorms

Search for coed dorm arrangement

by Bill Betz Observer Staff Writer

Investigations into coresidential housing have begun, reported Fr. John Flannigan, associate vice­

. president for student affairs. to the first meeting of the hall rectors.

"We must look at student housing from a broad spectrum, of which ,the co-ed dorm is only one alternative," the director said. "There are many sides to this question other than the "salt and pepper" arrangement that so many students associate with co­residential living.

"We'll look into the possibility of co-ed town-houses, co-ed floors, co­ed sections and a number of other alternatives." The director stressed that the main concern of the administration is to better the total atmosphere within the residence hall. "We're looking for

an environment that will best meet the needs, in every area, of our stu­dent body," he said.

For the present, Father Flan­nigan commented that he would be investigating the question, looking at how it has worked other places, seeing how the students here feel about the issue and generally uncovering as many of the pros and cons of co-ed living as he and the other rectors and ad­ministrators are able.

As for now, the Administration, hall rectors and hall presidents know nothing definite, which means that Notre Dame students should not look for an opposite-sex roommate in the near future. However, }<'ather Flannigan promised to keep the lines of communication open and ex­pressed the hope that all concerned students will keep in touch with him on this matter.

Fr. John Flannigan, director of student residences

in its second year of operation. "The students like the new style of th~ hall very well, and we have had virtuaHy no problems so far," remarked Mary Bruemer, dean of women.

residential dorms have' been continuaHy established throughout the past four years.

dean of students at Northwestern which has the largest number and variety of co-residential halls of the four reported a great deal of student satisfaction with the present sxstem. Co-residences at Northwestern fall into three categories of adjoining buildings, alternating floors, and the newest housing complex where men and women students live on the same floor.

In fact, the St. Louis University administration dropped the last year of the original two-year probationary period for the new co-ed haH, and is looking into possible expansion in co-residential housing in the future.

At Michigan State there are four co-residential haHs set up on an alternate floor basis. A new university policy permitting 24-hour visitation in selected dorms though, has reduced student demand for more co-residential housing, according to Robert Underwood, residence manager.

Even though Tempelmeyer cited a high demand by students for more co-residential housing, he­cautioned, "The coed residence is not for everyone and the university realizes that students must have an option."

Expansion plans, though are not reported by Northwestern and Michigan State, where co-

"Many of the students are looking to a more conservative life style," added Underwood. "They want more privacy and more solitude than the coed dormitory aHows."

Hall presidents co- residential

favor dorJm

by Greg Ryan Observer Staff Writer

Hall presidents interviewed yesterday felt that co-residential housing is a necessary part of personal growth on campus and -fav~ed its inception in the near future.

Althaugh plans were turned down by the administration last year for a coresidential dorm on campus, new plans will be sub­mitted this year by halls for consideration of one co-ed hall on campus.

Three major ideas being discussed are: the "salt and pepper" approach, which means that womens' rooms will be scatt­ered throughout a hall; the separation by alternating floors of men and womens' rooms; and the use of interconnecting

· Keenan and Stanford HaHs. Most hall presidents agree that Notre

Dame needs the addition of coresidential dorms to aid in personal growth.

Farley president, Chris Singleton stated, "I feel that the University's commitment to coeducation is meaningless unless we have a coed dorm in the near future. I feel that the experience coming out of that fits in with the Notre Dame tradition, which is that residence halls are the center of campus life and the development of the individual." -Ron Pajap, resident of Fisher Hall, added

that it is "more of a real social situation that isn't existing right now."

Many students felt that male-female relationships should be taken out of a strictly dating situation to allow men and w­omen to become friends.

Alumni President, Butch Ward, com­menting about barriers, felt that when men and women "meet in the dining hall or in the classroom, they're under pressure to im­press. But when you are forced into a living situation, those barriers are naturally broken down."

In considering drawbacks, many ac­knowledged that there might be adjustment problems, but all polled were optimistic that Notre Dame students would be able to, as Cavanaugh president Paul Tobin put it, "adopt the right mode of thinking."

Pajap conceded that, "One of the big disadvantages is that a Jot of guys that ar living in the dorms now might not be willing to accept this kind of change because it is kind of a unique and radical change for guys who have been living in an all-male dorm for two or three years."

Opinions were mixed regarding how soon the administration would adopt the housing plans. Some felt that coresidential housing could be implemented next year, while others though the change would be many -ears in coming.

Al Fatah backs down

Arab terrorists ease Lebanese stance by Eric Pace

((') 1972 New York Times

Rt>irut. Lebanon, Sept. 20-The Palestine liberation organization, under pressure from the Lebanese army, has acquiesced to new restrictions on Arab commando activity on Lebanese soil highly placed Arab informants reported today.

The sources said Yasir ~Arafat, the AI Fatah leader, and other P. L. 0. chiefs had made their position known during talks with Mahmoud · ttiad, the secretary. general of the Arab League, who has been mediating between the Reirut government and com­mandoes, or Fedayeen. The commandoes were said to want to avoid a showdown with army.

The informants also reported that booby-trapped mail had been sent to one or two AI Fatah leaders earlier this year. They said the mail had been intercepted, but they suggested that a desire to retaliate might have encouraged

An Israeli diplomat was killed in London Tuesday by such a device ..

No comment on the latest bomb mailings was forthcoming from commando leaders today, but Kamal Nasser, the chief spokesman of the P. L. 0., told reporters, "The Palestinian resistance movement has full confidence in President <Suleiman) Franjieh (of Lebanon) and his understanding of its role and his true belief in the justice of the Palestinian cause."

the Israelis withdrew.

The Lebanese army high command, which has long been trying to curtail commando ac­tivities, also laid down new rules governing the movements of Fedayeen. These included a stipulation that the commandoes stay out of Lebanese villages.

On Monday and Tuesday, the P .L.O. was quick to denounce tha army's measures in a series of fiery broadcasts from the relative safety of Damascus. But today the pro-commando Beirut newspaper AI-Liwa said the incident had been only a "tempest in a teacup."

And Riad, using diplomatic understatement, said that the commando leaders had "given assurances that they will continue their cooperation with the Lebanese government."

The Arab informants said the commando chiefs had apparently given in because they did not want to risk a confrontation with the Lebanese army, whose morale is high after the relatively good showing it made in the face of the Israeli attack.

To have taken that gamble would have been to risk complete sup­pression by the army--and after the drubbing they took in Jordan in 1970, the commandoes want to maintain their position in Lebanon, where there are an estimated 3,000 full-time Fedayeen.

Many Lebanese leaders leel they must restrict Fedayeen activities in order to forestall future Israeli raids.

Arab informants said Lebanese authorities had intercepted a letter bomb that had been mailed in Beirut to one of Arafat's main deputies, Farouk Kaddoumi, who is known as Abu Lutuf, which means "father of gentleness."

This bomb was in addition to the three that killed Ghassan Kanafani, spokesman of AI Fatah's rival, theJ?opuiar Frontfor the Liberation of Palestine.

There are also reports that another letter bomb was in­tercepted after being mailed to Arafat.

Nasser's declaration seemed meant to ease the tension that has prevailed between the Lebanese authorities and the Fedayeen since Israel raided southern Lebanon last weeked in reprisal for the Black September Massacre of Israeli Olympic athletes at Munich.

Mob violence increasing in India Many commandoes fled the

((')New York Times

New I>t"lhi--For many weeks, mob violence has been erupting in various parts of India, set off by seemingly small-scale incidents that officials say political foes of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi have inflated to national propor­tions.

There have been riots in recent days in New Delhi and in Bihar Stcite southeast of here, and there have been similar outbreaks in the last few weeks in five other states-­Kerala and Tamil Nadu in the south. Orissa on the east coast and Bujarat and Rajasthan in the northwest.

In the last six months, more than (iO people have reportedly been killed and hundreds injured in more than a dozen incidents in which the police have opened fire to restore order.

Violence has beset the country after a relatively calm period of more than 18 months since Mrs. Gandhi's sweep in parliamentary

100 CENTER. ·MISHAWAKA (On Lincolnway West, between Logan and Main-

elections in March, 1971. Before that there had been equally violent agitation but most incidents were over major issues such as language, elections, state borders and Hinu-Moslem tensions.

Although the current incidents apparently pose no immediate threat to Mrs. Gandhi's Govern­ment. the cumulative effect of growing lawlessness and economic troubles could affect her popularity as well as the stability of her Government.

Mrs. Gandhi, apparently worried, discussed the problem with her New Congress party aides at a special meeting early this week. Shankar Dayal Sharma, the party president, said after the meeting that the current violence in the country was a result of a "deep-laid conspiracy" by four opposition parties that had earlier joined in alliance to oust Mrs. Gandhi. The parties are the right­wing Hindu Jan Sangh, Swatantra, the Old Congress party led by Mrs. Gandhi's erstwhile senior

colleagues who broke with her, and the Socialist party.

Local Congress party leaders in Patna. state capital of Bihar, have blamed the pro-Moscow Com­munist party of India for fomen­ting violence there.

But a Government source here said these riots apparently reflected suppressed anger among the masses whose lives are becoming increasingly difficult because of a steady rise in prices, growing unemployment and abysmal poverty.

New Delhi was recently the scene of four days of rioting by citizens agitated by the death of a girl student who belonged to the Untouchable community.

Saigon -United States planes have been mining the coastal rivers and canals of Northern Quangtri Province, just below the demilitarized • zone, to prevent the North Vietnamese from moving supplies across the border by boat, a senior United States Air Force officer disclosed Wednesday. The mining is believed to be the first ever of waterways in South Vietnam.

North Vietnamese settling • 1n hills by Joseph B. Treaster

(c) 1972 New York Times

Saigon, Sept. 20-"The other side is building a nation in the hills," a high American officer said, summing up developments in the last six months in the five northern provinces of South Vietnam, known as Military Region 1

"The way they're going, they'll soon have two-thirds if not three­quarters of the physical geography of the region," he continued.

South Vietnamese troops took a major step· I reversing the Com­munist trend in the northern region last Friday when they recaptured the citadel in the heart of the capital of Quangtri Province, and some officials were saying they haa greatly reduced the enemy threat to Hue.

But the greater part of Quantri Province remained either con­trolled or strongly consisted by the Communist forces and the Saigon Military Command continued to report 50 to 75 North Vietnamese killed each day in the hills west of Hue, indicating that more than a few enemy soldiers were still in the area.

Worse still was the situation in th~ southern three provinces of the regiom - Wuangnam, Quangtin, and Quangngai -· where the government position has been

deteriorating steadily and enemy pressure is expected to intesify.

Route 1 has been cut iust below Quangngai City, the capital of Auangngai Province, tor some time and on Saturday, a South Vietnamese military spokesman in Saigon reported fresh enemy at­tacks on the three southernmost district capitals in the province.

Two weeks ago the communist forces succeeded in pushing two­thirds of the way across Tamky, the provincial capital. They were following up a drive that had gained considerable territory in the southern part of Quangnam Province below Danang, South Vietnam's second largest city.

"They're making a maximum effort to inflict severe damage on government troops and to gain territory," one senior American official said.

"They also want to inflict damalle on President Nixon's Vietnam Policy in hopes of in­fluencing the election," the official continued. "They consider this a very important period. That's why they keep attacking and pushing, evern though there is every in­dication that they have suffered severe losses."

Some American officials take comfort in the fact that the largest cities and most of the people of the region situated in the narrow

coastal plain, have not yet come under communist control.

But there is no denying that the Communists have greatly ex­panded the amount of territory to which they can legitimately lay claim in the vent of an in-place cease-fire or that they are in a position to annex even more ground.

The northern region seems always to have· been accorded special significance in the Vietnam War-- partly because it is adjacent ofNorth Vietnam and perhaps also partly because the region includes the former imperial capital, Hue, which holds an almost mystical place in Vietnamese Society as a cultural and intellectual center.

Even those who tend to minimize the communists' successes in the region concede that they have had great "psychological and political effect."

Intelligence officials had been predicting that the lower half of

-1 Military Region would be a focal point for the Communists in late summer or early fall. In their first dramatic r_n()ve, toward the end of

August, the Communists captured Queson, a district

capital, and the nearby fire base known as OSS, which dominated the Queson Valley in Southern Quangnam Province.

Government troops eventually recaptured the town and the fire base, but much of the surrounding terrain, including numerous trails linking the hills and the populated plain, stayed in enemy hands.

In early September, the Com­munists took the town of Tien­phouc, a district capital in Quangtin Province, and gained effective control of the districts. This in turn gave them dominance over the Hauduc District Im­mediately to the south, which could no longer be reached by land and has no airstrip.

These advances in Auangtin enabled the Communists to· move up supplies and longrange 130-mm artilery to a point where they could assault Tamky. As one American officer said, "Tienphouc is a springboard for an attack on Tamkv."

The new pressure m Quan~tin has led the Saigon Government to shift some of its troops away from Queson to the Tienphouc area. This has meant that efforts to retake lost ground in Queson were scaled down, giving the enemy troops a chance to catch their breath.

According to allied intelligence reports, the Communists have been building a 10-foot wide road, have constructed numerous bunkers and houses and have been salting away supplies in the valley, which American and South Vietnamese ofticers have nick­named, the AK vallev after the basic North Vietnamese infantry weapon, the Soviet-built AK-47 rifle.

Neither the division commander nor his senior adviser would discuss their unit nor the military situation in the area with this correspondent. Other Americans· in the region, however, spOke of the second division with disgust.

When I graduated many com­plained that I had left the University stripped of one of its bare essentials. However, I never intended last year to be my finale. Just to show how weird I really was, I planned on attending Law School at Notre Dame and become a double domer. Alas, Dean Schaeffer, so to speak did not groove on my act. But, even so, Uncle Sam has conscripted an idea to expose me on tour with the troops. Thus, it com~ time wit.. tears streaming down both cheekE that I must reveal a successor.

I have sized up the candidates and if God and the man in black sitting in the press box sees fit that this au natural tradition continue, then I feel Ed "Naked Klunker" Klunk should fall into a list Of many Notre Dame Nude IMmortals.

The Last Hurrah

The SLC and

King Konfusion

ann there•• darin

"There has got to be an SLC!" wheezed larengytised John "SBP" Ba~kett. As I sat in the student government office last spring with a sheaf )f Important Student Life Council handouts-the Student Manual from which SLC in a crucial 9o-minute huddle opted to delete all references to stud~nts as males in deference to this year'scoeds; an off-again, on-again traffic appe_al_s c~urt merger ~ith its St. Mary's counterpart; and other assorted trivia, It seemed like a bad dream. King Konfusion and H(esitanU-Man were seesawing over the merits of having elections for the student SLC representatives. John the Gipper of student government wanted King and H to come out strong for SLC. "You've got to have elections. Everyone worked so hard to have an SLC. Just think of all you would lose." he whispered from his Morrissey

cataflaque. "It is the only chance students have to sit down with the faculty and administration. We can't cut off this valuable com­munication." Af~er haying not only attended last year's SLC sacrifices, but also

havmg tned to type its cryptograms into some sort of understandable report as last year's SLC secretary, I think the kindest thing for the Council would be euthanasia, or the racque, or the bed of needles.

When the Council was conceived almost five years ago, it was in the wake ~f the studen_t power movement on campus. The rabble, psyched by St. Richard Rossie, wanted a voice in how decisions were made on campus. They wanted to be heard in a legitimate forum of tri-partite representation. They got their voice. The council was organized with student, faculty and administrative representation from the Student Affairs Vice- President's office. But now, the SLC should be re-evaluated. Is it important tor students to merely babble with anyone like two year olds or to be given an opportunity to think and act with top university decisionmakers? ·

Last year, asked from the parietals-sanctions extravaganza, the SLC had a less than easy task of trying to teethe into issues involving students and to exert some authority. It would inflate itself with rhetoric for two and a quarter hours, take a time out, finally get down to business in the last fifteen minutes of the meeting, but fail to reach a consensus on what action ~ho~ld be taken on the problem and dismiss promptly. It would s_well With Impo~tance as. the rhetor~c g<_>t more pompous, only to collapse hke an asthmatic man with the realizatiOn that it had no real authority to enforce its decrees. It is interesting to evaluate the member's comments on the coming session of the Student Life Council as reported in Mr. Ruane's "Insights." It echoes the breathless anticipation of the students waiting in dining hall lines getting a test you know you will fail.. .despair, bloom, dread.

It_ is significant th~t while Mr. Etienne was thumping his crystal ball agamst the wall trymg to shake some coeds into the District no.5 SLC race. no one from the SLC or Bice-President of Student Affairs Office except Floyd Kezele bothered to go over to Walsh or Badin to brief th~ coeds on what the SLC's function is. Maybe it wasn't an oversight. Maybe nobody knows .In contrast, last year, a woman, Ann Marie Tracey ran for an SLC seat and received a large bloc of North Quad votes. Another example of how the SLC's credibility is diminishing?

The Studen~ Life Council should be axed for another type of tri-partite body--one which would deal comprehensively with all student-oriented problems from student life to academic, a combination SLC-Academic Affairs Committee, more importantly, one whose rosterwouldinclude the decision-makers of this campus. As Mr. Faccenda remarked in yest~rday's SLC "Insight," the leadership that has been provided after the first two years of the Student Life Council has led to dissillusionment because the best possible leaders have been by-passed.

The Student Life Council should be re-molded into a University Forum. This idea has been gathering dust in the Student government's memory album since Phil McKenna's reign as SBP three years ago. Under this system, top administrators <Hesburgh, Joyce, Burtchaell, Wilson, Faccenda, t~e Student Affairs Vice-President), faculty (4 college deans, A_A U~ president, fa~ulty senate president), and students (SBP, SBVP distnct representatives) would- meet several times a year. Once a quarter ~ould not be tO? frequent. The fewer meetings, the more to accomplish. The more Important the membership, the less amount of paper bureaucracy and the better the quality of decision.

There are just two ideas to revitalize SLC. Every other member could probably come up with a pocketful of suggestions too. But the real ~rime is that in spite of the rhetoric, the groans, the iack of action that is mherent in the initials, SLC, elections still go on. Wind bags inflate. Paper proposals will fly once again across cluttered desks to their waste-paper basket destinations. -

There is better rhetoric on the Merv Griffith Show. There are better, more relevant decesions at a rugby practice. The University is a Walden Pond. If we are so reticent to discard the

obsolete, who in this society will? If we do not show the courage of innovatorsand experimenters, who will?

The burden is ours--all of ours!

Historical insights:

by Maria Gallagher St. Mary's Editor

What went before One hundred twenty nine years of history lie

behind Saint Mary's College. You'll find it struggling to articulate itself in the pages of the information bulletin, in an occasional feature in the Courier, in Marion McCandless' book Family Portraits, in a conversation with an elderly Holy Cross sister. Yet how many of the students are aware of the tradition that precedes them?

So far this fall, there has been tremendous emphasis upon the changes at Saint Mary's -and rightly so. Still, a historical perspective can help one appreciate those changes even more.

Saint Mary's has come a long way from its early academy days in Bertrand, Michigan. Four sisters, with help from Father Sorin, established the girls' school in 1844, and received its first charter from the state of Michigan in April, 1850.

People complain about the shuttle bus irregularities today, but the sisters didn't even have an unreliable bus back then. It was a long walk from Bertrand, Michigan (just across the state line) to Notre Dame- quite a stretch even in summer and almost intolerable in the Indiana winter.

The move was made to the present site in 1855 when Father Sorin purchased the Rush property for them. Father was not entirely selfless, though -- the present railroad tracks that. cross the Saint Mary's campus are there because Father Sorin didn't want them cutting across Notre Dame. The sisters brought everything they had at Bertrand with them, even some simple old frame buildings which were moved on wooden rollers.

8 the obsCITver Thursday, September 21, 1972

by John J. Hof Assistant to the President

As a newcomer to Saint Mary's College, I have been rather intrigued by that integral part of campus life known as train-waiting. Now train­waiting does indeed have a value. It stimulates, if not requires, one to grow in the virtue of patience. Patience of course is a good. It is inherent in the first word of the train oriented jargon: Stop! Look! Listen! Since we prefer not to be hit by a train, we stop. And if this silly analogy may be carried a bit further, with regard to the future of Saint Mary's College, we also must stop, that is have patience, since it is preferable not to be hit, and hit hard, by the negative influences that would render our future doubtful.

So with stop-patience then, let us together take a good look at Saint Mary sCollege·. We im­mediately see an institution with an enviable history and identify that has opted to remain a small, Catholic, liberal arts college for women. It has done so because one of the great strengths of America's system of higher education is its variagated pattern of opportunites, op­portunities which make it possible somewhere

. within the system for every student to find what she or he is looking for. Veteran educatiors have amaximin seeking qualitywhichstates that each

educational institution cannot be everything to everybody. Each must decide for itself what it want to be, and then it must do its own thing well.

Thus Saint Mary's College is not for every woman. It is for those who believe in its ideals, who desire to participate ·in its challenge, and who wish to benefit from what it has to offer.

Now to understand well the ideals, the challenge, the offerings, all of us have to heed

· especially the third aspect of the train bit: Listen! We must listen to all the constituencies of our College community - Faculty, students, administration , Staff, Board of Regents, Alumnae, Parents, The Sisters of the Holy Cross, and in a sense, theGeneralPublic. But to unite these various constituencies, to inspire hope in the weary, to provide direction for the disoriented, and to stimulate courage within a time of confusion,strong leadership is absolutely essential. This is the job of the new President of Saint Mary's College, D. Edward L. Henry.

Dr. Henry is fully cognizant of the fact that within what is really a dynamic era of change, R'ivate education faces serious problems. In­deed, the climate in which all of higher education operates is far less receptive to the educational mission than it used to be. But the President has confidence in the future as long as the total College Community dedicates itself to a full self­examination, an examination that will allow the true nature of Saint Mary'scommitmentto be more perfeclty understood. To this end, Dr. Henry has initiated this year a planning process which will involve all of the College con-

John J. Hof: .. Stop, look, and listen.

stituencies. Theassembledcommittees and task forces will, for instance, specify individual responsibilities and relationships,' formulate an effective governance, outltne good living and working conditions, express vaJ:Jes, define goals, engineer a curriculum to achieve these goals, explore new delivery systems for the curriculum, and assure that the resourses of the institution will be adequate to carry out Saint Mary's mission.

Saint Mary's is a small college . And there is a rising tide of support for small educational units as being the best way to provide for maturing opportunities and really close personal relationships. Such small units also generate the sense of family that can bridge all of those ridiculous gaps we hear so much about, that sense of family that can allow us to grow and to learn together.

Saint Mary's is a women's college. And there is a growing conviction that the way to counter psychological and institutional biases towards women, especially in the formative years, is to create an academic setting in which they are regarded as first class citizens. . Personally, I have yet to see this regard on a coeducational campus, women's lib notwithstanding.

Saint Mary's is a liberal arts college. And Dr. Henry is dedicated to maintaining and in fact

strengthening the liberal arts. He also believes that as a social·. institution, the College has to meet the needs of its students, and he realizes that these needs may gradually change over a period of time, hence the need for planned review. As a result, over a period of time

- the college has a specific theoretical mission of developing the intellect it also has been forced by history and circumstances, no less than by common sense, toaccept other responsibilities such as providing social laboratories and career training. And the President is convinced that with thoughtful planning, such provisions . need only entail broadening the base of the liberal arts curriculum.

Saint Mary's is a Catholic college. And as much it endeavors to foster full realization within the College Community that each of us, as a child of God, must be sensitive both to our heavenly destiny and to the human conditions of our neighbors. Moreover, it is only through intensive efforts to strengthen personal spirituality that one can gain the maximum benefit from the Saint Mary's College ex­perience. Wisdom is really the goal, and each of us must respond individually to a rather penetrating question post by Vatican II: "As special branches of knowledge continue to shoot out so rapidly, how can the necessary synthesis of them be worked out, and how can men preserve the ability to contemplate and to wonder, from which wisdom comes?"

Saint Mary's College, as Dr. Henry so often points out, has a long tradition of service to

society through young women - almost 130 years, which makes it one of the oldest women's colleges in the United States. Its respected history of continuously high moral and academic expectations for its graduates is convincingly demonstrated by loyal and. 2dedicated alumnae. And the vital concern of the Sister of the Holy Cross that their beloved College grow and prosper brought about separate incorporation and a new progressive partnership between laity and religious. The presence of a student representative and a faculty representative as full voting members of the board of Regents is indicative of the ever growing spirit of a total College Community.

So 1he program to build an even greater Saint Mary's College is well under way. Ther first planning meetings will begin shortly, but the President has already taken some immediate steps: Departmental chairmen have been asked to include students in departmental meetings. Substantial personnel shifts have occured to bring in new points of view such as providing a special ombundsman-advisor for students who have academic problems to be unsnarled.· A new devlopment office has been established. An increased emphasis has been given to recruiting in order to assure a continuous supply of highy qualified young women. Creativity has been encouraged with a new experimental system that permit quick review and decision on in­novative approaches to education. Additional off-campus programs are being investigated, __ and more vital inter-institutional opportunites are being fully explored. A greater social climate is being created on campus by preparing new facilities and providing additional equip­

. ment. And allof these are just a slim preview of the exciting things to come.

Often while train-waiting, I people-watch as well. How refreshing and encouraging it is to perceive that, though everything is not alway peaches and cream, the withered faces are few and far between! There appears to be a growing sense of our Saint Mary's unique identity. Dreams can be fulfilled; visions can become reality; and hearts knit together in love and common endeavor can change the world. So do let us share more and more Dr. Henry's con­fidence that a fusion of the sacred and the secular. the spiritual and the humanistic ·might really be achieved on our campus as nowhere else.

Saint Mary's College has the potential, if we work as a team, to become the finest small, Catholic, liberal arts college for women in the country - indeed, to remain in the forefront of women's education ! As our total College Community continues its efforts to acheive this goal, perhaps the words of an ancient prayer could best serve as our guide: "Heavenly Father, grant us the patience to accept that which we cannot change, the courage to change that which we can, and the wisdom to know the difference."

'Saint Mary's has the potential

Ann Dunn: .. We need to explore

• • •

by Ann Dunn

For various reasons, students of St. Mary's converge on this campus at this time. each of us entitled to unique feelings and thoughts which cannot be conflated into nor confined within a single person's analysis. Each of us at one time or another has experienced misgivings and anxieties about our location in time and space, feeling an affinit~ for places and eras other than those in which w~ exist. Rather than dismissing such an attitude as a fantasy, possibly we should be attentive to a vision in order to deepen or allevia~ our disenchantment until we are dislocated or re-located in the world.

Since the first moment I arrived on campus I began hearing words reminiscent of solicitations and promises of last year. Words regarding the dawn of new attitudes of "independence", "innovation", "responsiveness", "working together" rang with a hollowness even to the village optimist. Despite pleadings to "squelch the cynic", many students and faculty members remained mildly skeptical of change.

Amazingly enough, some of these new at­titudes have been reflected in the decisions and actions of our "new" Administration. Students were greeted by real people, replete with en­thusiasm for imaginative ideas and vivid con­cerns. Motivated by concern for the social at­mosphere, administrative committees began

many ideas. I I

work on the "new" Student Center in Regina Hall, the Coffee House, Lounge Renovations, extension of Coffee Shop hours, etc. In asimilar spirit, each dorm extended its services to include the openi~g of Hall offices for twenty-four hours, and Resident Graduate Counselors. A well­planned professional orientation of Resident Assistants toward an operative base of practical knowledge <including advising, referral ser­vices, first aid, fire safety, etc.· plus- a two-credit hour semester "In Service Practicum" course have raised the consciousness of the ongoing responsibility of the Resident Assistants to the needs of those living nearby. In addition, the Academic Affairs office has been most responsive - in a refreshingly personal way - in Academic Counseling. The list of services honed in upon specific problems and concerns of the student, continue and indeed, reinforce the fact that many people are dedicated to helping the students.

However. countering this sweeping spirit of apparent good-will, a resistance is evident. Somewhere in the proverbial subliminal recesses of existence many are still not inspired to participate in this institutional drive to produce a finished product of a college while we have no idea of what the product is to be. Even more fearful is the feeling that one freshman woman disclosed to me that upon hearing the opening speeches ; one adminstrator made her feel as if she will be the product emerging from the assemblyline SMC education, ready to be delivered to her parents in four years.

Whereas many planners feel that they have opted for their concept of the definition of, "a small, Christian, liberal arts college" in the direction they have plotted, there are those of us who feel that our integrity is being threatened and our potential being grossly undercut. Somewhere within this mechanism which clarifies and defines the context of the college (almost purging it of the somewhat chaotic and yet passionately creative fervor of last November's protest>' spontaneity is being stiltified. We function together lbut, we do not feel the artistic pull of imagination calling us to our tasks of learning.

The only two encouraging sparks of interest at this point seem to be a small grass-roots movement pushing the question of parietals and judicial reforms and a faculty-student of in­vitations into the homes and residence halls to extend our relationships to one another, as educators, beyond the classroom.

In a psychological free space, we must call upon the resources of reason, will, and intellect in the task of attending to reality. For reality offers a measurement of goodness in order that he self may formulate a unique way of seeing the world- a personal vision. In living together, we · cannot improve our relationships by miring

ourselves deeply in our own self-involvement. We need to explore and discuss many issues and ideas that will further contribute to our in­dividual personal vision and collective public identity.

The original name was "Saint Mary's of the -Immaculate Conception," and its legal existence was confirmed in 1855 by the state of Indiana, which empowered the sisters to "establish an Academy of learning for the education of young ladies in the various branches of arts and sciet1ces usually taught in female academies of the highest learning; and to confer such degrees on scholars as are usual in such institutions." By this charter, Saint Mary's became the first le­gally authorized Catholic college for women in the United States.

The first candidates for membership in a future alumnae association were six girls representing Illinois, Indiana, Louisiana, Michigan, and Wisconsin a rather cosmopolitan group for a class of its size. The school grew quickly, and by June 1863, one hundred and thirty two students were enrolled.

Wartime put a strain on the academy. Sixty Holy Cross sisters served at the front as nurses in the Civil War, and small memorial headstones still mark their graves in the sisters' cemetery behind Regina Hall. Not one was killed in combat. When a mischievious little boy was seen waving the Union flage from the porch of Ber­trand Hall, it caused a near-insurrection among the southern girls who countered the next day by making a Confederate flag out of their pet­ticoats. Even then, Saint Mary's students were capable of asserting themselves. There is no record, however, as to how General William Tecumseh Sherman was received by the southerners when he attended the com­mencement of 1865.

The history of chan

SMC

Saint Nlary's

College ...._

.. NOTRE DAME, INDIANA

Not only were the educational bars to women being raised, but several social ones as well. The pinnacle of excitement at the alumnae reunion in 1920 was the first official Notre Dame - Saint Mary's dance, held in Saint Angela Hall. The record of the incident in Family Portraits is surprisingly contemporary: "While the older members looked on with amazed and un­believing eyes, the younger generation made the most of its opportunity.'' Adventure was coming into its own with the first formal social in­troduction of Notre Dame to Saint Mary's. Less than forty years later, complete segregation had taken an about-face with the initiation of the academic coexchange program.

In 1934 Sister M. Madeleva was appointed third president of Saint Mary's, and during this twenty-seven year period, her reputation as a poet, her travels and lectures, and her educational theories made their impact not only on Saint Mary's but on higher education for women everwhere. By providing in 1943 the first graduate school of sacred theology for women, secular. and religious, whe opened both a field and an era. (The newly-consecrated Episcopal bishop of the northern Indiana diocese hold his doctorate from Saint Mary's.) The program was discontinued in the mid 1960's when it was decided that the expense exceeded the necessity, since by this time a great many schools offered a similar course of study.

... the first legally authorized Catholic

college for women in the United States.

Again, in 1956, she authorized the in­terdepartmental program in Christian culture <now termed humanistic studies) to implement Christopher Dawson's theories that the Catholic Church predominantly created and shaped western civilization.

Sister Maria Renata succeeded Sister Madeleva to the presidency upon her death in 1961, and inaugurated both the graduate -program in elementary education and special education. and the coexhange program between Notre Dame and Saint Mary's. What was the spirit of the school in those days?

Vacations during the school year, except at Christmas, were unknown; and even during the holidays many students chose to stay. Marion McCandless records in Family Portraits that "· many returned during the summer to the place they had come to regard as their home." The archives contain letters received by the sisters from students which indicate the closeness which characterized the academy. Between "the college," as Notre Dame was then known, and the academy were a dirt road and a cinder footpath, but it was a road never taken by the girls.

The administration of Mother M. Pauline, from 1895 to 1931, was the completed evolution of the academy into a liberal arts college. Its first degree was granted in 1898. By an amendment of the charter in 1903, the name of the academy was changed to Saint Mary's College.

Mother Pauline was an innovator, and in 1899 shocked a great many people in those con­servative times by hiring an instructor of "physical culture." Chimes reported that "Saint Anglea Hall will serve as a gymnasium ... general and individual instruction is being given, and physical training based on hygienic principles." There were those who considered this move much too "advanced" for young ladies, -especially when they could be seen in bloomers, climbing about the newly installed strange app­aratus. Eventhe five yards of black serge that went into each pair of bloomers, bagging loosely about six inches above the ankles were not sufficient evidence of their modesty. One can imagine teir reaction to a group of modern-day Saint Mary's women rollicking on the quad in a football game with some Notre Dame friends-in cutoffs, no less.

Despite the insistence of society back then to keep women in their "place," educated woman was nevertheless coming into her own. Mary Cochrane Ryan ('73, from Chicago), in a toast at an alumnae reunion at the turn of the century, made these remarks:

"The dignity of the female character cannot be too highly estimated nor too sacredly protected. Many writers, admiring the fair sex, take it for granted that mere amusement is the only object to be proposed. This is not true ... it is a good sign of advance in society when attention is paid to the education of women. Today, all fields of learning are open to her and the highest mental culture is not denied her. But what a woman knows is of comparatively little importance to what she is. Let her mind be enlarged and her in­{ormation accurate; let her excel if possible in mtellectual development of her mind, and let the growth of her soul keep pace ... "

The direction Saint Mary's takes this year and in the next few years under Dr. Edward Henry will doubtlessly also go down the history books as important turning points. Imagine, though, how these changes must appear to an alumnae of many years ago. How must an alumna who wasn't even permitted to go to a Notre Dame football game view a student petition for open dormitories? A sample of alumnae opinion over a wide span of years provided an insight into the old and the new Saint Mary's, and how they feel about the new image of their alma mater.

ge at Saint Mary's

Marion McCandless <SMC '00), oldest living alumna. recalls that no major porgrams were offered at the time that she matriculated at the college, but that it was then "as it is now, an excellent school." <She claims that the food quality has improved, though). Miss McCandl­ess is pleased that the merger was not con­summated and would rather see an autonomous Saint Mary's.

Florence Lynch Bohan <Mrs. J. M., '10) sees no harm in change -- "It's a changing world," she asserts. "Even our Church is changing ... I'll support anything that is real progress."

In Mrs. Bohan's undergraduate days, "if you looked crosseyed at a boy you'd be expelled!" This she thought, was absurd since the sisters constantly stressed the importance of marrying a Catholic boy and yet did their best to keep the girls away from them. Despite the situation, Mrs. Bohan said she "loved" her years at Saint Mary's and felt that the sisters of the Holy Cross were wonderful.

Mrs. Bohan last visited the campus the year after her golden anniversary, 1961. While she admits to being out of close touch with the college in recent years, nevertheless she still has strong opinions about the direction the school is taking.

"It's nice that the girls don't have to wear u­niforms anymore, but I don't approve of them wearing shorts ... there's a time and a place for everything, and !don't think that shorts are app­ropriate for college ... ! have no objections to a male head of Saint Mary's--! don't mean to minimize the ability of the sisters--but I'm sure he'll do a good job ... a definite •contact' bet­ween otre Dame and Saint Mary's should be maintained, and of course coexchange classes.­.. when I was in school, we weren't allowed to see the boys at all; at all our parties girls danced with girls ... can you imagine!"

It is difficult to imagine, but Sister Maria Pieta Scott <Stella Scott, '22) remembers much of the

same.

society when attention is paid

to the education of women. r

'Over the years there is change but

there is also continuity in change.'

"Only brothers and first cousins were per­mitted to visit the girls," she mused. "Of course some girls had dozens of cousins and girls with or without brothers manufactured them."

Back then one needed permission from the dean or the president to leave the campus, and when the girls went downtown they were always accompanied by a chaperone.

"My best friend warned me against coming to Saint Mary's because she said the sisters would 'rope me in.' Well, I guess they did!" she smiled.

Sister Pieta recal~ed that Holy Cross Hall was the whole college; Lemans hadn't even been built yet.

"There was more of a family atmosphere then since the college was smaller," she feels. She estimates that 200 were enrolled at that time.

Although Sister Pieta has seen drastic external and internal changes in her more than 50 years here, they don't bother her because "God per­mits them."

"I love Saint Mary's and couldn't leave," she said.

One thing which hasn't changed since Sister -Pieta 's day is the cost of education at Saint Mary's.

"When I went to Saint Mary's you had to watch your pennies. That still holds true."

Although Marion McCandless has stated she didn't like the Observer because it was "too radical," Sister Pieta (a journalism graduate of Columbia), on the contrary, likes it. "It's the way young people express themselves today."

Sister M. Edna Orzechowska, who came to Saint Mary's in 1910, sees this expression as good -- "a desire to improve and constantly strive for the better.''

"There's a revolution throughout the world-­it's not just here; there are changes everywhere. It reflects, I think, a desire to be better but will

things really get better? Only God knows." Sister Edna feels that in spite of the external

changes the spirit of the girls now is much the same as it was back in 1910, but their manners and dress are "terrible sometimes." Again, though, she notes that changes must come about and more often than not are in the right direc­tion.

Another view comes from Maureen Hayes Mansfield (wife of Majority Leader Mike Mansfield, SMC '26) who in an address to a gathering of Washington alumnae stated:

"Some of my happiest years were spent at St. Mary's. The contrast with how it i for today's students seems very sharp; yet, in perspective, it is not so sharp. Over the years there is change but the is also continuity in change. Women in colleges and universities today -- men and women -· seek a sense of fulfillment, a sense of well-being, and a sense of worthwhileness in their lives, and, if we can remember our own sentiments at that time, so it has always been."

While the changes since Mrs. Mansfield's time in 1926 have indeed been drastic, they do not seem to disturb her or many of the alumnae interviewed. An anonymous alumna from the class of '32 was recently quoted in the Courier as remarking at the latest reunion,

(continued from page 11)

'"l found much that has changed-- and much that will never change, notably the warm welcome and enduring love of the Sisters and our other friends on campus."

The Courier summer edition also published a letter which said:

"I think the nonmerger was a push rather than a blow to Saint Mary's, more unifying than divisive. What a perfect time to reeva{uate the College when women are becoming more out­wardly aware than ever b~fore.'(Bonnie Larkin Nirns, '43).

The more recent graduates seem almost downright enthusiastic about the winds of change. Mary Gladys Turner Enderle (Mrs. R. T., '57) called the changes "delightful," and said she was pleased to see more responsibility placed on the girls' shoulders since they are mature enough to accept it.

"I'm curious to see what happens this year and in the next few years--if the enrollment holds up, if the financial situation remains stable. I'm not opposed to change--actually, it took me a while to warm up to the idea of a merger, but now that it's off many good things remain."

Describing the social life, Mrs. Enderle said, "We weren't in the Dark Ages. We went to Fort Lauderdale in the spring just like college students do now, and we always went to the football games. I can't remember the exact curfews, but I can remember counting my 5:30, 8:30, and 10:30 permissions. We were permitted to stay out till midnight on Saturdays."

When asked if she would go to Notre Dame or Saint Mary's again given the chance, Mrs. Enderle hedged and admitted she really couldn't make a choice.

"But we had a terrific class, "she asserts," and I just loved it at Saint Mary's."

Sister Kathy Reichardt (SMC '60) reminisces that student government during her un­dergraduate days was concerned mainly with bringing quality speakers to campus.

"O'Laughlin was quite a cultural center, and there was much contact between Saint Mary's and Notre Dame - LaFortune was really a "student center' in those days."

According to Sister Kathy, the school was much smaller then-- "about 800 students" -and everyone ate at the same time in LeMans Hall where the Reigbeaux is now located) as there was no cafeteria building then. Holy Cross and LeMans were the only residence halls; there was a great deal of hall spirit; classes were held in LeMans and the Science Hall as Madeleva had not yet been built.

"Of course the rules were stricter then, but the girls felt no sense of authoritarian opression--the rules reflected the way society was in those days."

Sister Kathy cites the "more cosmopolitan point of view" as one of the changes she part­icularly supports. She agrees that fewer girls attend mass now than formerly, but also noted that Saint Mary's, unlike Notre Dame, "never had mass checks. They were never forced to go."

Commenting on the lack of vocations from Saint Mary's, Sister Kathy believes there will be a resurgence of interest in the religious life in the future.

"The world has come to view the religious life­as "less desirable looking" than in the past, but this goes for any commitment which implies permanence, including marriage. People are taking their lies more seriously, and the balues which deserve to exist will survive."

One hundred and twenty nine years of chang•, and adjustment to change. In what direction are we heading? With Sister Edna, we will have to·~ agree--only God knows. But let us agree with faith and optimism, remembering the Sint M­ary's motto, Spes Vnica, which means, "United in hope."

I have found much that has changed and much that will never change.

Mrs. Enderle last visited the campus in June. She believes that the Holy Cross sisters should still be vocal in college policies but that laymen should be represented as well.

"In the last ten years there have been more changes than in the last twenty-five or thirty. When I was there we were still governed by some of the same policies that were set up in the times our mothers went there."

Mrs. Enderle reflected with amusement on the social atmosphere in the late fifties.

"We didn't get off campus too often because we weren't allowed to have cars, and neither were the Notre Dame guys. Consequently, there was a great deal of cooperative social programs between the two schools - the campus was the center of almost all social activities."

She also recalls that as freshmen, whenever they travelled anywhere, they had to wear hats and gloves.

"We had to wear uniforms during the week but it really didn't matter to any of us because this • was in the days before coexchange classes and we never saw the guys during the day."

Mrs. Enderle felt that uniforms were an ad­vantage bacause "they saved your good clothes." She said she was surprised when she heard that unirorms were voted o out by students shortly after she graduated.

Don Horning

Total institutional review by Dr. Donald Horning

Chairman, Planning Committee With the sounds of the merger break-up still

resonating softly in the now empty chamber of hope, I sat somewhat increduously in the make­shift office of President Edward Henry as he spelled . out his request--that I chair a total

planning effort for Saint Mary's College. Specifically, his charge was three-fold: (l)he wanted a plan that would prepare the college for its C!ollision with the future and which would carry it into the next decade; (he wanted a plan that reconciled the incongruities in con­temporary liberal arts especially as they relate to women's education; (3) he wanted a plan that recognized the differing views and prospectives on the SMC campus ; and (4) he wanted a plan that would project Saint Mary's College beyond the greatness that is its proud legacy, to the point where it could assume its rightful place in the forefront of women's education.

Since that day in mid-July, I have harl an opportunity accorded to few academics :-an opportunity to reflect at length on the much troubled educational enterprise of which we and our problems are but a microcosm with some unique permutations;-an opportunity to probe the depths of my own awareness regarding the educational enterprise to ask what is right with it and what is wrong with it, what is possible and what is not possible, what is probable and what is not probable --an opportunhy to research other mstitutions, especially those that have successfully charted their course through the troubled waters of institutional change; --an opportunity to float untethered among the vanous islands of onininn in th"' college community · in quest of the multifarious visions of the ideal academic in­stitutional climate; --an opportunity to glimpse and occasionally see in depth the genuine love that people have for the proud and •noble heritage that is Saint Mary's;- an opportunity to sample the fears, frustrations, and ov­ccasional hatred nurtured by the disappointment over the failure of the merger; and finally,-an opportunity to develop a plan for a total in­stitutional review.

In the intervening weeks, following numerous meetings with members of the administration, faculty and students, the plans for the planning committee and institutional review process haye been formulated. Throughout the pre-planning operation , it has become evident that there is no death of ideas about what could or should be changed of academe. The difficulty lies in gettin~ the propel; changes considered, approved and implemented.

PIMINING l'P..O'·:::ss {Core Slr.1r.:t"r·e)

In developing the plans for 'total institutional review, the following guidelines have been operational: ( 1) the planning operation should represent the major constituencies in the college: administration, students,faculty, alumni,staff. the religious, order and parents­(2} the planning operation should be completely open--with all report.s being made available to the concerned constitutencies to allow for their reactive input; (3) that functional divisions should be respected insofar as possible in an effort to rna ximize the efficient use of functional interests and specializations; ( 4) that the planning committee establish a clear task demarcation between the responsibilities of on­going standing committees in the college and their counterparts in planning; (5) that task forces be given concise and unambiguous charges, and (6) that only the top of the com­mittee structure be established by Presidential appointment, leaving open the bottom of the committees for those who wish to enlist their services.

Membership on the PLANNING COMMITTEE and on the Area Committees in by Presidential appointment. Committee Members were selected through consultation with numerous individuals representing all facets of the college. Area Committee Chairmen and their Vice Chairmen were given an opportunity to assist in the selection of Members of Members of their Committtee.

Most Area Committees will coordinate the activities of a number of Task Forces. The Task Forces presently planned include:

Academic Concerns 1. Academic Climate 2. Admissions Policies and Requirements 3. Major and Degree Requirements 4. Student Evaluation and Grading Policies 5. Evaluation of Faculty and Courses 6.

SMC to survive

Advantages of St. Mary's College

'We could have offered every

student the best of both worlds.'

Dr. Mary Alice Cannon VP for Student Affairs

by Michael Baum Observer Staff Reporter

Less than one year ago, one could well believe that the very existence of St. Mary's College rested upon corporate merger with that in­dustrial giant, the University of Notre Dame. Times change, and although within recent memory the "unmerger" was drawing cries of anguish and massive requests for transfer papers. it now seems very premature to hang crepe over LeMans Hall.

There is a general feeling of optimism, hard to express, that St. Mary's can and will survive. Survive? Improve in her chosen role as a small, private, Catholic women's liberal arts college. _ The emphasis is on the new, more visible woman in today's society. The approach is through the class advantage of a small college-­the ability to provide individualized attention. Miss Kathleen Mulaney, Dean of Students, notes. "I think the whole impetus of education at St. Mary's is to make education as individualized and personalized for each person as is needed."

This theme is recurrent. Read the Resident Assistant's handbook for St. Mary's: "The primary responsibility of the residence hall staff is one of service to the student. ... l. Students are individuals and should be treated as such. 2. The individual student must be viewed and treated as a whole personality. 3. Work with students must take into account their existing level of development, needs, interests and problems."

'We are not comparing like

institutions - St. Mar..,'s is a '

small. liberaf arts college;

Notre Dame is a university.'

But what about the ballyhooed competition from a coed Notre Dame? The theory is that St. Mary's offered an alternative. Says V.P. for Student Affairs, Mary Alice Cannon, "We are not comparing· like institutions--Saint Mary's is a small liberal arts college; Notre Dame is a university. Their thrusts are in different directions. It is like comparing a 747 jet with a Beechcraft--each can do things the other can't. In no way is this a criticism of either institution."

She is echoed by Mulaney: "You should have the choice of a college or a university; the wish to go to an all-woman or all-male or coed in­stitution." It is for this reason she regrets the failed merger. "We could have offered every student the best of both worlds."

A reflection of women emerging in society, the teaching of "useful skills" is emphasized as well as the traditional "liberal arts educa~ion." "St. Mary's is going to be concerned with giving the graduate the broad base of a liberal education background plus some skills that are marketable," according to Mulaney. "Our graduates will ue able to earn their own living if that should become necessary and .... to live qualitatively with her liberal arts background," she added.

Dr. Cannon points out both the self-fulfillment and economic rationales for such education: "We have figures from the Labor Department that 95 percent day college students are going to be working whether or not they marry. There are three reasons for this.

There is, perhaps, a broadening feminine "conciousness," in the words of last year's

Celebration of Self". Psychology and Sociology both offer courses directed · specifically to women; freshman orientation includes a series of films and discussions on ' Women in Society."

Welte observes, "The whole notion of women doing other things <outside the pall of traditional roles) is a role the College must provide, and I think they see it."

'The prevailing attitude

is that we are open to

change ... '

"The prevailing attitude is that we are open to change, "she remarked, "and we are going to meet the needs that necessitate change."

Kathleen Mulaney Dean of Students

SBVP Sue Welte

It is difficult to fully assess and report the feelings hopes and attitude of an entire in­

stitution. but perhaps Miss Welte's words sum­marize well, "I think we are off to a really good start."

"One, the higher costs of goods and services, of health care, .. of what our American Culture has deemed the necessities of life mean that the one­paycheck household is not enough.

."Two, labor devices have taken the time and effort out of housework, and perhaps most im­portantly, three, because of their education their restless intelligence is going to want to work, either in paying jobs or in community service .vork. I thing most important is the need to us~ their education."

Such 'are the hopes and theories of ad­m.in.istrators They are perhaps professiona,lly optimistic, yet much the same feeling seems· to exist at a student level. Student Body Yice­president, Sue Welte mused, "There's something unique here -the size ' of the school, I'm sure, plays a great deal into it - the sense of the community."

'I see a very definite

change, a very

optimistic student body.'

Welte agrees that there is a change from the days of merger negotiation: "I see a very d£-finite change, a very optimistic student body._

... We've gone through so much two ad­ministrations and into a third, the coexchange program, and this year I see an optimistic student body in the sense that the college has finally come to terms with itself- it has a sense of direction.''

"The college has come to the realization that it must define itself as it~ own institution ... the students are·no longer in a limbo state; they, too, have a definite di,.ection," she added.

oint • 1ew Fr. James T. Burtchciell

In Loco Parentis Part 2 . . This is the second and last part of the article by Fr. Burtchaell which appeared in the August issue of Notre Dame Magazine.

In yesterday's installment Burtchaell discussed some of the changing patterns of university life that accompany the decline of the legal doctrine: in loco parentis. He also began to redefine the term in his own personal context and in the greater context of Notre Dame. ed.

A letter I received just this summer from a mother of a graduating senior also gave me much though:

His father died when he was only two years old. Believe me it has been a struggle for me: no oil, no water, no lights, no telephone. no car. I had to walk for miles to get anything, rain, sleet, or snow. But I did it. His father was in the hospital for two years before he died. 1 walked twenty miles to work at night to work 12 midnight to 8 a.m. in order to have food and clothing for him. He is one that has had it very hard, though I don't mind, 1 did not mind it in the least. Father, ever since he made the tour out to Notre Dame with the senior class here at ---~· ------ High School, he wanted to go there. So he said, "Mom, I want to work to get some money to be able to go out there. So he had a push mower and he went around and asked people to let him cut their grass for $1.25 an acre in the blazing sun, May, June, July, and August and some in Sep­tember. He got me to let him get a boat so he could go oystering in the evenings when he got home from school and on Saturdays. Then some days he would trim fences for people, dig ditches and so forth, in order to get money to be able to go to college. So, Father, his hard labor did work out. He began work when when he was only 7 years

old to try and help me to pay the many bills that I had. He has been a wonderful boy and is still. He also worked seven days a week to help pay for the tuition and clothes. You know there is no student that would give seven days a week all sum mer in order to get. an education, but he did.

A letter like this from a lady I don't even know makes me proud for her, but also reminds me of the professor who has had to feed his nine children on powdered milk and eggs for quite a few years and of the other professor who once had to read gas meters during the summer because his teacher's salary was so meager, and of the priests who spend their lives in a single room on this campus.

Two years ago, one priest on campus received a letter from a recent graduate continuing his studies elsewhere, a letter not unlike that which parents might receive from a son who has appreciated home and family only after leaving them.

I've many good things to say about my four years at Notre Dame---typically they center on the people who teach there. I owe much to you, Father, and 1 want to thank you for your friendship and concern---I want to thank you for your love.

These past weekdays I've been reflecting on the education I received at N.D. -­particularly in comparison to what I'm doing now. (I'll explain the immediate events of my life later---suffice to say for now I'm at studying Public Administration.) The great thing about being here as opposed to N.D. is that at--

I'm different. In discussions and seminars 1 find that what 1 contribute generally is unique and peculiar from the offerings of those surrounding me. People are genuinely surprised at what I have to say --I really don't think they've .en­countered many people who view social

Burtchaell: in loco parentis redefined as an essential task of the university community.

problems et al. from a spiritual viewpoint. I suspect they feel I'm a bit odd and ec­centric. For these reasons 1 guess Notre Dame is one of the last places I want to be at now. I really feel what you constantly came back to in discussion about Notre Dame --we were a rather unusual group of people with something very unique and rare to offer those we encounter ....

It seems really strange that my reaction to graduation has been counter to what I expected. Instead of nostalgia and melancholy 1 feel very happy and am at ease. I've done some very good things this summer-- not the least of which is to feel a degree of self-acceptance that I've never

felt before . At Notre Dame we assume the bur­

densome task of standing in loco parentis. We need not. To assume the strictly academic responsibility that most schools do would spare us much wrangling, much heartburn, even much disappointment. Yet we try to be more thoroughgoing in our gifts and our service. It is an uncanny thing to try to be the father of a 21-year-old boy-man. Some men fail; others succeed; most of us do some of both. There are as many styles as fathers, and as many different needs as sons.

Because we accept this larger charge, the natural parents of our students demand much of us. All too often at Freshman Orientation I sense fathers and mothers desperately hoping that in a few short years we shall somehow be able to undo any negligence or failure they have been guilty of during the past 18 years. And alumni -­espe·cially those who have not yet been sobered by having their own children pass through these restless years, or who have forgotten how it was, or have raised their children entirely differently than they themselves were raised, and then expect us in some crazy fashion to be able to impose upon their sons the same style of discipline they lived under 30 years earlier-- well, some of these alumni can write some unreasonable letters at times.

But let me not end on a note of complaint. With god's grace and our effort we try as parents do to help boys (and now girls) into manhood <and womanhood). This is no small ambition. After having made even a career out of what is most people's great work in life, we would not, I believe, choose to stand elsewhere than in loco parentis. God help us.

again the beetles:

how apple went rotten

Alternative Features Service

"I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love." sang the Beatles in 1964.

But as everyone now knows, the Beatles became big stars and earned a lot of money. They packaged love in a series of record albums that have caused enthusiasts to compare them with Shakespeare and Dante, then started their own business and soon broke up. .

The authors of a new paperback entitled Apple to the Coreseem to think it vital th~t the inside facts of this story be known. Thetr book, therefore, the tale of how Apple went rotten, is a drama of emotiOns and frustrations, with the almighty dollar as the tragic flaw.

Peter McCabe, native Liverpudlian .and a contributing editor of Rolling Stone, provides the insight into Liverpool's dull gray atmosphere and shows how the Beatles, four shabby leather boys who could

------------

make music, brightened things u~. The~ enlivened a prnvincial English city, only to­be won awa~from the whole world's con­sumption by Brian Epstein, who "cleaned" the boys up, negotiated their success, and kept them together despite the crushing pressures of the big-time.

Most of this has already been documented in two previous biographies of the Beatles. The more recent developments, involving Allen Klein (the all-business manager who took over the Beatles and Apple) are related with much "inside" dope on the boring and interminable litigation between John Lennon and Paul McCartney. Co-author -Robert Schonfeld, a student of business administration, has contributed his knowledge of business relations to ~is section, citing all the statistics to brmg home the nalced truth about where everyon­e's heads ended up. The book abounds with references to the Beatles' materialism­even George "Beward of Maya" Harrison's fondness for psychedelic mansions--and Allen Klein' comes across as the greasiest most obnoxiously scheming, wheeling-and­dealing manager since P. T. Barnum.

All right, suppose the book tells the truth about all this. What purpose does it serve beyond that?

lynne bronstein

Every so often, a book or article is writt~n that attempts to "expose" the pop mustc industry for the money-making machine that it is. Yet such writing is often hostile t(\ the music itself while barely scratching the surface of the existing corruption.

What happened to the Beatles, as described in Apple to the Core, is happening to all the performers we know and love--but you won't learn that from this book. McCabe and Schonfeld "exprose" the history of corruption in Sergeant Pepper's Land without much comment on the more general problems of show business or the broader characteristics of the rock sub­culture.

In Apple to the Core We learn that the Beatles may have been unleashed on -America at an opportune time: the recent assassination of John F. Kennedy, the idol of idealistic youth, left open a gap that almost any new idol could have filled. We learn also that the Beatles were unglamorous and rough in their Cavern days, that Linda Eastman was a society girl who became a -groupie, that Yoko Ono "turned on" John Lennon like acid all over again. Somehow these facts seem more instructive, overall, than Schonfeld's statistics and summations of maneuvers in court.

Money itself is hardly the only problem affecting rock (or society as a whole.) The causes that lead Beatles to break up and F­illmores to close and rock festivals tobecome riots and loud unoriginal groups to flourish and more and more fans to get high on the wrong kinds of drugs system from political and social conditions as much as they do from the influence of money alone.

A prominent film critic, after seeing Gimme Shelter, remarked that to refer to the Altamont disaster as "the Pearl Harbor of Woodstock Nation" was ridiculous. A generation, he pointed out, is not born and destroyed within four months. Woodstock and Altamont should be looked at as two events during a period of time in which it was possible for the same event to be either good or bad. He concluded that the people who made Woodstock good were around before and would still be around afterwards, and of course the same could be said of the bad.

Keeping this in mind, Apple to the Core can be read to found out how money can be a problem in the lives of any dedicated ar­tists but don't get lost in those facts and forget about racism, sexism, hedonism and nihilism, those demons that are feeding on -~he world as a whole.

lew breakthrough at ND

Waste treatment system demonstrated by Marlene Zloza

Observer Staff Writer A completely new waste water

treatment system was successfully demonstrated at Notre Dame Wednesday by the Ecology Division of Telecommunications Industries Inc. (Til).

In an afternoon demonstration held at the pilot plant located adj­acent to Carroll Hall, Mr. John M. Periale, V. P. Operations-Ecology Division, Til, explained the systems' operation to the public.

The Ecology Division of Til is responsible for the design and construction of the actual plants on the sites selected. A second team of scientists and engineers at Notre Dame is concerned with continued evaluation and improvement of the system.

Test runs made Test runs of the pilot plant on

NO's sewage system by the Til engineering staff and the ND research team have shown that the combination of ozone and sonics is effective in the reduction of waste water contaminants. The various contaminant characteristics being studied include biological oxygen demand, chemical oxygen demand, bacteria, phosphates, and suspended solids.

Notre Dame faculty working with Til on this project include: Dr. Don A. Linger, Chairman, Civil Engineering; Dr. Wayne Eche­lberger, Jr., Assoc. Professor, Civil (Sanitary) Engineering; Dr. Frank Verhoff, Assistant Profess­or Chemical Engineering; Dr. -M~rris Pollard, Chairman, Department of Microbiology; Dr. Joseph Hogan, Dean, College of Engineering; Dr. Ray Brach, Associate Professor, Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering; and Dr. Philip Singer, Assistant Professor CjvU Engineering.

Sewage water run through the three-stage pilot plant emerged as "potable" and "sparkling." Important factors of the treated water as shown Wednesday were the crystal clarity, absence of odor in the processed water and lack of need for chlorine. To dramatize the purity of the water, Mr. Periale pointed out a fish tank filled with the processed water. Clearly visible in the tank was a group of healthy r-looking goldfish s­wimming around contentedly.

The pilot Til Sonozone waste water plant is built in three sec­tions.

In the first or primary treatment section, from 60 to 70 percent of the solid content is removed from sewage water. The second stage consists primarily of a large mechanical filtering area which further purifies the water. Suspended solids are removed and most of the organic waste oxidized into harmless carbon dioxide.

Lastly, the patented Son ozone process •combining, sonics and ozone, by removing and killing bacteria virus substances and oxidizing highly resistant chemicals to either gaseous or otherwise removable end products, performs final purification.

Particles broken In the Sonozone process,

ultrasonic destruction first brakes particles down, enlarges the amount of surface area presented -to the ozone, and allows the ozone to act efficiently.

This combination treatment produces effluent water with purity exceeding the existing and proposed standards of the EPA.

Studies are also underway at Lobund Laboratory to determine the efficiency of the Til waste

water treatment system in inac­tivating viruses. Much of the current technical literature in­dicates that sonics removes viral coatings, allowing ozone to inac­tivate viruses. Dr. Pollard is directing this phase of study.

The practicality of the Til system is based on improved in­stallation, power usage, raw materials and land space needs.

Installation reduces to a matter of days as compared to months for traditional systems. The entire Til system is transportable by van, erected on-site by standard equipment with a minimum of special handling and simple foundation work.

lbw material :air

Air is the raw material for ozone production as opposed to chlorine, and since handling air is almost effortless, the entire Sonozone process is economically ad­vantageous compared to the chlorine system.

.,. By reducing horizontal dimer .. :nons in every stage of the Til waste water system, the amount of area required for each treatment step has been reduced to a small fraction of the space needed for traditional treatment systems.

Angus D. Henderson, consulting engineer from Henderson and Casey, is working directly with Til in the development of this system. According to Henderson, "the Sonozone system will have ap­plication in housing developments, municipal sewage plants, lake water purification, ships, trailer camps, ski resorts, and other 'community-sized establish­ments."'

The Til Ecology Division is presently taking orders for systems able to handle the domestic wates of about 50 to 2,000 mobile homes, 200 to 3,000 stan­dard dwelling units, and up to 500,000 gallons per day outflow from some small industrial systems.

In addition, the Til system will undergo further evaluation and adaptation over the next two years to enable it to cope with highly toxic industrial wastes. Those present for the demon­

stration' Wednesday included Mr. AI Roche, Chairman of the Til Board; press representation from Chicago, New Jersey and New York, and several prospective financial supporters. Headquartered in Copiague, Long Island, New York, Telecom­munications Industries, Inc. manufactures and markets electrical and electronic com­ponents for use in communications and related areas. With its new Sonoze system, Til has now en­tered the field of waste water pollution treatment.

concession stand rules Because of the interest various student organizations hav@

shown in OPerating hot dog or similar concession stands ·an the campus on home football game Saturdays as a fund raising project it Is necessary to establish a policy based upon the University guide lines which regulate mer­chandising by students.

1. Permits to operate any type of concession stand on the campus on football Saturdays will be granted only to residence hall student governments and to registered student organizations. Permits will not be given to individuals who plan to operate a concession for the profit of themselves apart from a registered student group.

2. Residence halls located on the south and main quads may operate one (1) stand per hall. The stand must be located within 80 feet of the sponsoring hall so as not to in­terfere with the location of another group's concession. The dormitory student governments can be expected to supervise the operation of thse stands. For the purpose of this par­ticular project, residence halls not located on the south or main quads will be considered to be registered campus organizations.

3. Registered student organizations include all student sponsored clubs that have registered with the Office of Student Activities for the 1972-73 academic term.

4. Application for a permit to operate a concession stand on campus durino the home football Saturdays must be com­pleted and returned to the Office of Student Activities by 5 pm, Friday, September 23. No student or group may oper~tP a concession without first having received permission of the Office of Student Activities to do so. Failure to comply with this University regulation will result in formal disciplinary action.

5. Depending upon the number of residence halls and registered student organizations that indicate an interest in operating a fund raising concession, a lottery method will be used to match the interested student organizations probable locations for stands, and the available football game dates.

O'Brien asks 3.2 billion

Walcrgate suit names Stans <c> 1972 New York Times

Washington, Sept. 20-A federal judge ruled today that Maurice H. Stans, President Nixon's chief campaign fund-raiser, could be namedby attorneys for Lawrence F. O'Brien as a defendant in a revised, $3.2 billion suit arising from the Watergate break-in.

At the same time, however, Federal District Judge Charles R. Richey granted a motion to dismiss an earlier civil action by O'Brien, the former Democratic Party Chairman, against five men arrested during the June 17 raid on the Democrats' Headquarters in the Watergate complex.

The amended complaint, which in addition to Stans named as defendants Hugh W. Sloan, Jr. the former Nixon Campaign treasurer, and G. Gordon Liddy and E. Howard Hunt, Jr., both former white house aides, is thus the Democratic party's only remaining legal action in the matter.

The suit, filed today, accused Stans and Sloan of having passed to Liddy $114,000 in Nixon cam­paign contributions "for the purpose

of financing the activities ot tne espionage squad" which allegedly carried out wire-tapping and other surveillance operations against the

Democrats during a six-wekk period in May and June.

seven indicted

Last week, a federal grand jury indicted Hunt, Liddy and the five arrested men on ·charges~ of conspiring to obtain and use in­formation gleaned from overheard telephone and other conversations and from documentsstolenfrom the party's files. But the eight-count indictment did not indicate how the operation was finished or to whom, if anyone, the stolen information was passed.

The $114,000 in the form of five checks that Sloan has said he gave to Liddy, then general counsel for the Finance Committee to Re­Elect the President, were later deposited in a bank account con­trolled by Bernard L. Barker, one of the five men arrested in the raid.

The suit dismissed today by Judge Richey was an earlier class­action filed by O'Brien, on behalf of all Democrats, charging Barker and the four others involved in the break-in with trepass and invasion of privacy.

Earlier this month, Henry B. Rothblatt of New York, the att­orney for the five defendants, moved to dismiss the complaint on

the ground that O'Brien, who had resigned as party chairman to head Sen. George McGovern's presidential campaign, no longer had the necessary legal standing to sue on bebalf of the broadly defined class.

The judge gave O'Brien's lawyers until Sept. 11 to file their reply to Rothblatt's motion, but they chose instead to reply with the amended suit naming Stans, arguing that this rendered Roth­blatt's motion moot.

The new suit narrows the class on behalf of which O'Brien is suing to include only those persons who engaged in speech within the Democratic offices or talked by telephone to anyone there.

Edward Bennett Williams, the lawyer representing O'Brien, had sought to include the names of the five original defendants in the new complaint, but today Judge Richey dismmissed them as defendants in both actions on the technical ground that filing the amended suit had not been a proper response to Rothblatt's motion to dismiss.

Joseph Califano, a partner in Williams' firm, said today he would file an appeal on the dismissal.

hits McGovern defense policy (c) New York Times

St. Louis, Sept. 20--Vice President Agnew today called national defense the "overriding" issue in the 1972 election and ac­cused Sen. George McGovern of advocating positions that would reduce American military options to only one: nuclear retaliation.

While is was not the first time Agnew has criticized the Democratic presidential nominee's proposals to reduce military spending by $32 billion, it was the len_gthiest and most detailed critique of his campaign thus far.

In a speech to more than 1,000

rotary club members from· this metropolitan area, the Vice President said McGovern's ''fright ening" policies would slash

conventional military capability to a pre-Pearl Harbor level and thereby pose a - threat to its national secutity.

His address to the rotarians was the final public appearance here before flying to Columbus, Ohio, where he was greeted warmly by a crowd estimated at 5,000 people, many of them attending the state's Republican convention there.

There were a few anti-Agnew signs and a smattering of boos, but the large crowd gathered at the president William McKinley in

Agnew was to address the convention later tonight before flying back to Washington to remain overnight and resum his -campaign tomorrow in Tennessee.

"I can't question his <McGovern's) sincerity," the Vice President said in this city in his speech to the combined rotary clubs of St. Louis. "'But I totally disagree with his conclusion. It must be based on the assumption that we're nevf'r again going to face the challenge of a limited, non -nuclear war. It guarantees we can't fight such a war."

A definition given for mental 5 retardation refers to "subaverage 5 general intellectual functioning 5 which originates during the 5 developmental period and is 5 associated with impairment in 5 adaptive behavior." It is 5 estimated that only one quarter of 5 the cases of diminished intellectual 5 capacity can be traced to fault: 5 genes, virus infections,accidents 5 and diseases causing brain ~ damage before birth or in early = inf8ncy.

Efforts rewarded

Virtually all retarded children can profit from educational ex­periences and we should never put any limitations on them. We can only say where the child is now and then take a step forward into the joyful and illuminating world of learning which will be geared to the particular student"s special needs. We must teach them simply to be whole, blossoming happy individuals. What the child is, is always coming to life. All that is required to be a volunteer is time, patience, love and warm :.m­derstanding. All that these children want is love-the love that demonstrates care, concern and interest. In return they will give you farmore love than any normal child and a deeper appreciation of life.

As long as there are people who are willing to judge human character by its depth and capacity to love, there will always be volunteers to help the retarded children and adults.

Only a Sophomore

So now it's been confirmed. Mter a month and a half of spring practice, and more than a month of fall workouts, the Irish football team has a number one quarterback.

The job will go to Tom Clements, a fHl, 187 pound sophomorP.A series of injuries to Cliff Brown, last year's regular, made the choice of Clements a near-certainty during the last several weeks of pre-season practice, but make no mistake about it. Clements did not win the position by default. He earned it, and he deserves it

The McKee's Rocks, Pennsylvania native alternated with Brown at the controls of the first offense during spring practice, but neither of them showed enoughconsistenceto merit sole control of the reins of the number one team.

Neither of them showed it, that is, until the Blue-Gold game. In that game, the final session of spring practice, Tom Clements was nothing short of sensational. He completed seven of ten passes, ran for touch­downs of three, four, and 52 yards, and led the first offense to touchdowns every time he was on the field. Following that performance, Head Coach Ara Parseghian rated Clements and Brown "even" going into fall practice.

And fall practice saw Clements move-slowly and occasionally spec­tacularly--into a commanding positon in the quarterback derby. "Im­provement" and "learning" have been phrases often applied to the young quarterback this fall, and his performances of late have been so strong that Alex Agase. Northwestern's coach, informed Chicago sportswriters that "Tom Clements will start for Notre Dame."

But Parseghian may have best summed up his second-year prospect when he said, "He has been gettingbettereach week. He has a great grasp of the system, he moves the team well, and he is an accurate passer. He doesn't have the game experience, but he seems to be able to get the job done."

Clements, as Ara's remarks indicate, is an exciting player, and he is the type of quarterback who will fit well into NO's offense-oriented fall strategy. Comparisons of Clements with Irish great Joe Theismann were plentiful during spring practice (and were partially brought on because Clements was wearing Theisman 's old number seven jersey) but they were a bit premature. .

For Clements, while being a quick and deceptive runner, and a better than adequate passer-he is extremely sharp in the 15-20 yard range-is still a sophmore, and he is yet to be tested under actual game conditions.

Very little he went through as last year's freshman quarterback prepared him for what he will be facing Saturday afternoon in Evanston. Very little prepared him for the pressure, or for the near-sellout crowd that will be watching him in Dyche Stadium.

As a freshman, Clements led his team to a 2-2 record, and his first year showing so parallelled Cliff Brown's (in 1970) that frosh coach Denny Murphy took pains to avoid any comparisons.

"Tom Clements and Cliff Brown both did very similar-type jobs for , me," he said. "Their records against the same teams (Michigan State,

Michigan, Tennessee) were identical (1-2) and I just don't want to compare them. Clements di a good job for me, but so did Cliff Brown. I'm not going to say that Clements is going to clear up our quarterback situation, and I sure don't want anybody thinking that Clements is going to be some kind of Saviour."

The freshman coach .was partly off the mark-Tom Clements has, in­deed, cleared up Notre Dame's quarterback situation-but he was partly on, too. Casting Clements in the role of a miracle worker is unfair-both to the QB himself, and to the '72 Irish in general.

Clements is a very good quarterback and an exceptional athlete, but being Notre Dame's number one signal caller as a sophmore is challenge enough-for anyone. Having to fill the role of a .. savior" at the same time is a bit too much to ask .

Irish QB-- it's Clements Now it's official - Tom Clements

Coach Ara Parseghian 's decision to give Clements, a sophmore, the go-ahead over junior Cliff Brown who started six games a year ago, had been expected for several days.

ND harriers open today

by John Wick

The N~Jtre Dame cross-country team travels to Valparaiso University today for the first meet of its 1972 season.

This meet will mark the opening of Coach Alex Wilson's last season as head coach of the track and cross-country teams and both he and the team seem eager to make this season one of the best. Coach Wilson is currently being assisted by Coach Don Faley, who will shoulder the coaching respon­sibilities upon Wilson's retirement at the close of the season. Faley is very pleased with the present arrangement and considers himself very lucky to have been given the opportunity to profit from Coach Wilson's experience in all areas of track and cross­country --particularly regarding knowledge of this year's squad.

Coach Wilson has just returned from the Summer Olympic Games where he had the opportunity to be among and to talk with many nationally and internationally renowned track coaches. Con­sequently, he will initiate many of his own ideas, incorporated with some newly acquired concepts, into the training of the team. Both his interest and hopes for the team are extrememly high.

The squad is also in excellent spirits, due in part to the en­thusiasm and determination of the captain, senior Dan Dunne. Dan, along with the rest of the team, has been developing steadily over the past four years and Coach Wilson feels that they now have the potential of establishing them­selves as powerful contenders in the field of cross-country run-~ ning. Providing strength and depth to this year's squad are returning senior lettermen Jeff Eichner, John Duffy and Roger Burrell, along with juniors Dave Bell and Marty Hill. Mike Gahagan, a sophomore who established himself last year as an outstanding runner returns along with prospectives Mike Housle)Bnd George Christopher. Rounding out the team is a fairly large number of freshman runners headed by standouts Jim Hurt, Greg Marino and Mark Armino. Hurt was the second place finished in the Illinois State Mile Championship in the time of 4:10.

The team is out each morning at 7:00 for a run around the lakes and then again at 4: 00 for their af­ternoon workout on the golf course.

There they weave in and out among the golfers and manage to -squeeze in a bit of sprint practice while dodgeing erratic golf ball~:

ND's harriers are well con­ditioned, have good depth and plenty of capabilities and seem willing and anxious to combine their talents for a fine last seasim under Coach Wilson.

Some highlights of the 1972. season will be the Notre Dame Invitational held here on the golf course on Oct. 13th, the Indiana State meet Oct. 27th at Lafayette, always a prestigious event, and the District Qualifying Meet for the NCAA finals.

"We wanted to be fair in our evaluation," Parseghian com-mented after Wednesday's practice session on Cartier Field, explaining why the announcement was delayed, "Cliff has been handicapped by injuries this fall. He'sbeen hurt the last two weeks and that was a big factor in why Clements got the job."

The McKee's Rocks Pa., soph isn't backing into the job however.

Far from it. "Clements has looked great this

fall," according to Parseghian. "His passing and play concept have been great and, on the basis of his performance, he merits the starting assignment against Northwestern.''

As a freshman, Clements led the Irish yearlings in total offense while completing 48 of 98 passes for ·731 yards and four touchdowns.

First of year

One hurt in panty raid by Joseph Abell

Managing Editor

One mJury and several screenless windows at St. Mary's marked the aftermath of the first panty raid of the school year last night.

David Hadley, a freshman in Holy Cross Hall, was admitted to South Bend Memorial Hospital with a dislocated shoulder. The

hospital report lists him as at­taining this injury by being "pushed down" on the ground during the excitement. However, a conflicting report from the St Mary's Security says that he fell from a Holy Cross <St. Mary's) fire escape while attempting to climb into one of the windows.

He was immediately released from the hospital.

Cheerleaders get funds Something is better than

nothing, reflects the financial aid which is finally reaching the ex­cellent Notre Dame cheerleading squad, which won first place last year in the National Cheering Foundation competition.

Last year the cheerleaders financial assistance amounted to a grand total of $256 for cleaning their uniforms. All other expenses inclu4ing initial uniform cost and trip expenses were taken care of by the cheerleaders themselves. Complaints were filed and heard by Edward "Moose" Krause, head of the Athletic Department.

'lbe Athletic Department has agreed to give the cheerleaders $1000 to $2500. Included in the Athletic Department's package

are coaching and insurance for the squad.

Asked about the new aid, cheerleader Rooney Frailey replied, "The money should be more than enough to pay for our uniforms, but it won't pay for the trips."

The situation isn't desparate, though. The cheerleaders plan to hitch rides to Michigan and take the student trip to Colorado. The trip to California for the Southern Cal game depends on the football team's record.

The cheerleaders are presently under the Department of Student Affairs, but next year they will be directly under the Athletic Department.

Students VIeW SLC

by Lee Klosinski

A random sampling of ND students about the nature of the Student Life Council shows a wide range of opinions on the role of this tri-partite committee. The SLC has been the object of recent criticism about its effectiveness. Elections for the student representation on the SLC are tsmw-row ...

Suprisingly, ·very few freshmen asked what the SLC was. But some did. As expected the freshmen interviewed did not have definite opinions on the effectiveness of the SLC.

Opinion from students who have lived with ND for more than a year falls into two categories. Most either expressed dissatisfaction with the body or endorsed the principle of the SLC without commenting on its performance.

"It doesn't meet the real needs of the student body," one sophomore stated.

"It doesn't do much," according to one junior. "It's similar to student government in that it's just there to give the students a secure feeling."

Some students interviewed saw a real need for the SLC but added that it needed bolstering.

"There's a real need for dialogue between students," one senior stated. But the SLC needs more active feeding of ideas to represent more of a cross section of the student body."

"The SLC can be an important step in the direction of dialQgue but only if good workers 'ar~ elected." another senior stated.

Several other revisions were offered. One junior would like to see a new body formed to dispell the unfavorable image the SLC has. Another student proposed adding more student represen­tation to the SLC in hopes of reducing the work load and in­creasing student voice.

Perhaps the only point of agreement was the need for~ some type of organization, composed of students administration and faculty, that could so \ to coor­dinate the academic and nonacademic aspects of student life at ND.

numerous screens having been pulled down at Holy Cross, and the use of fire extinguishers by the students to spray into the hall's windows. No imiJlediate damage was reported, but lists of com-plaints were expected come from hall directors this morning.

The raid was termed "orderly" by one St. Mary's security guard. Though about 40 Notre Dame students managed to enter Holy Cross Hall, they were immediately evicted by the St. Mary's Security.

The crowd, estimated at about 500 students, first formed at Grace and Flanner towers at approx· imately 11:00 p.m. Mter travelling around the Notre Dame campus, picking up more students at each hall, the group made its way to St. Mary's. Wild cheering and firecrackers punctuated the movement the entire time.

The raid finally broke up around 1:20 a.m. at St. Mary's. Though a few small groups continued to wander the campus for a while, the major part of the crowd returned to the Notre Dame campus. "They just lost their steam," said one observer.

Candidates • com1ng

by Bill McGinn The Democratic and Republican

Presidential candidates responded with uncertainty and a polite refusal to Fr. Theodore Hesburgh 's personal request that they speak at Notre Dame this fall.

George McGovern, the -Democratic nominee for President, personally answered Father Hesburgh's invitaion. The South Dakota Sentor expressed a desire to come to the campus.

"Certainly " he declared "if , , either Sarge Shriver or I can arrange our schedules so that we can accept your invitation, we will do so." McGovern intends to notify Hesburgh personally if his schedule is altered to include a visit to Notre Dame.

David N. Parker, a staff assistant to the President, responded for Mr. Nixon. Mter thanking Hesburgh for the in· vitation, he stated that "a time is­not foreseen now when the President or Vice-President might visit Notre Dame in the weeks ahead."

Since his appointment as Univ­ersity President in 1952 Father Hesburgh has achieved great success in bringing major party Presidentail candidates to the campus during the election year.

John and Robert Kennedy visited Notre Dame during their primary campaigns. Henry Cabot U>dge, William Miller, and Edm­und Muskie spoke on campus as Vice-Presidential candidates. Harry Truman and Adlai Stevenson arrived here as Presidential candidates. Richard Nixon came to Notre Dame after his election as Vice President.

Ted Kennedy <D-Mass.) how­ever, does plan to visit Ntre Dame on Oct. 6, Academic Commissioner Jim No vic announced Tuesday.
